Hi I am using Logstash 2.4.0 . I am getting below error in the logs.

{"thread\_id"=\>51, "name"=\>"[main]\>worker22", "plugin"=\>nil, "current\_call"=\>"  
[...]/vendor/bundle/jruby/1.9/gems/logstash-core-2.4.0-java/lib/logstash/output\_delegator.rb:128:in `pop'"}, {"thread_id"=>52, "name"=> "[main]>worker23", "plugin"=>nil, "current_call"=>"[...]-2.4.0/vendor/bundle/jruby/1.9/gems/manticore-0.6.0-java/lib/manticore/response .rb:50:in`call'"}]}\>, :level=\>:warn, :file=\>"logstash/shutdown\_watcher.rb", :line=\>"54", :method=\>"start"}  
{:timestamp=\>"2017-04-26T13:59:36.795000+0200", :message=\>"The shutdown process appears to be stalled due to busy or blocked plugins. C  
heck the logs for more information.", :level=\>:error, :file=\>"logstash/shutdown\_watcher.rb", :line=\>"57", :method=\>"start"}

Please Suggest

My first suggestion is to upgrade to 2.4.1, if not 5.3.x. There have been many bug fixes since the release of 2.4.0, including one where [exception messages got lost](https://github.com/elastic/logstash/issues/5969), resulting in the exact situation you report above.

Logstash version 5.x can still work with Elasticsearch versions 2.x, so that shouldn't be a barrier.
